Why is the US mortality rate so low in comparison to other socialist nation?

Question by ynot: Why is the US mortality rate so low in comparison to other socialist nation?
This is a question I see many liberals use to urge Universal health care
but they never bother to analyze why?
I will try and help those who can think clearly.
If you have lived in Europe and traveled as I do the main observation you would notice is that we americans are Lard Asses when you travel Americans stand out like a neon sign, even our own government admit that over 35% of us are clinically obese. obesity leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis etc obesity is not conducive to long life.

Our national obsession with guns with over 20,000 gun deaths each year and mostly the young this increase our mortality rate.

A HR person once told me that 4 out of every 100 applicant fail drug test for a job because of drugs about 4% of Americans are not employable with the proliferation of drugs such as marijuana, heroin crack,cocaine these are another group of people that are not noted for long life.
So libs before you spout off statistics do a little more thinking and analyst.
